Ayre also confirmed that the club were not looking to sell the striker.

"It's never been our intention to sell Luis. We've received two separate offers from Arsenal and rejected both," he said

Brendan Rodgers saidn that leaving the club would be a bad career move for Suarez
Rodgers said last night that he hopes to build Liverpool back to their former glory, both domestically and in Europe.

"I know what we are trying to build and grow, so why would you swap Liverpool to go to Arsenal?

"I am not sure that it adds up, to be honest. Arsenal has a wonderful history in its own right but Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Okay, we might not be in the Champions League and haven't been for a while now but our competitors have grown around us and we have to step up to the challenge now.

"I am sure Luis will have seen the sheer size and status of the club, so we'll just see how it goes. It is not something we want to run on too long," Rodgers said.
